Justice AHM Shamsuddin Chowdhury Manik, a sitting judge of the High Court, said Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman formed Baksal in 1975 to unit the nation for the welfare of the people, and even Ziaur Rahman was a member of the party He told a function at Dhaka Reporters Unity (DRU) yesterday on the occasion of launching of a website on the Bangabandhu murder case. SM Abul Hossain, a journalist, initiated the website as www.bangabandhucasedoc.com. Shamsuddin Chowdhury said five High Court judges had felt embarrassed to hear the Bangabandhu murder case without mentioning any reason, which was not rational. He said the judges have right to feel embarrassed to hear any case due to specific reasons, but feeling embarrassed to hear the Bangabandhu murder case without any reason has no logic. Perhaps the judges felt embarrassed due to their reluctance to the case, he said. The judge said there is no confusion about the Appellate Division and High Court Division judgements on the fifth amendment of the constitution, saying that the courts have cancelled the fifth amendment as it was against the constitution. Dhaka University Teachers' Association President Prof Khandker Bazlul Hoque, Editor-in-Chief of Boishakhi television Monjurul Ahsan Bulbul, editor of the daily Bhorer Kagoj Shyamal Dutta, and DRU General Secretary Pathik Saha also spoke at the function.
